The Moor New Build Mastic
New build mastic across The Moor and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- New-build shower sealant that has already split
- Gaps opening as the house dries out and settles
- Kitchen sealant that has pulled off the wall
New build mastic for homes and businesses in The Moor
Some owners wait for the first year’s movement before having joints redone. For small cosmetic gaps, that is reasonable, but a seal that is letting water through needs doing now. We are often asked to deal with sealant work across a run of new homes and skirting joints opening in the first winter, on plot handovers, bathrooms & en suites and skirting & floors.
In a village or hamlet like The Moor, new homes are more likely to be a barn conversion or a handful of houses than a big estate. Every one needs its sealant and floor joints done properly, whatever the size of the site.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How we quote for new build mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural cracks in walls or ceilings
- Damaged fittings that need replacing
- A tray or bath that is not properly supported, until it’s fixed
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need new build mastic in The Moor?
Sealant applied onto damp surfaces doesn’t bond well. Site programmes do not always leave time for joints to dry before the sealant goes on.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Frame joints opening as the plaster dries
- Smeared, uneven beads picked up at snagging
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Plot mastic for developers ahead of handover
If you’ve bought a new home near Etchingham station, the sealant around baths, showers and frames is worth checking in the first year or two.

Why it’s worth doing now in The Moor
A tube of sealant from the DIY shop won’t fix the cause: grit, unprimed surfaces and old layers underneath. Proper removal and preparation are what make it last. Older cottages and farmhouses around The Moor can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why The Moor customers choose us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Tidy, careful work
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours in a single home, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as The Moor, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at why each joint failed, including any movement.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- Baths are filled with water, then the new sealant is applied.
- The finished joints are checked and the cure times given.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

The Moor: your questions answered
I let a flat near Etchingham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to The Moor?
Yes. The Moor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours in a single home. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you use white or clear sealant?
Most bathroom joints are white or clear, but sealant comes in other colours too. We choose one to suit the room before we begin.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
